My son saw it last night. I asked if he wanted to see it again with me and he replied absolutely.
Now you can luxuriate in a nice jail cell, but if your hand touches metal, I swear by my pretty flowered bonnet, I will end you.

Oh Tom! I got your zine in the mail. It's great . Everyone should buy a Tom Scola Zine.
M and I haven't seen a movie in theater in ...a long time. Mostly because I've been wary of it with the post concussion stuff . And also nothing really feeling like a must see.
Last night right as I was dozing off M informed me we have to see Deadpool & Wolverine in theaters. Not sure when . But I agree.

I figure since I can’t go out (booooo!!!) I will be watching a bunch of Olympics this weekend.

So ....this is a headline about the GOP VP.pick I never thought I'd see
"J.D. Vance didn’t have sex with a couch. But he’s still extremely weird."
On the one hand the AP really messed up with the whole couch sex rumor...I mean how hard is it to verify, realize it's baseless and then ignore it.
On the other hand we get articles like this and memes of Couches for Harris
Trump really shouldn't take advice from Tucker Carlson, Charlie Kirk, Eric and Donald Jr (I think they were the being JD Vance for VP people). But hey at least people have forgotten about Trump having small hands...

I decided to watch the opening ceremonies, but my screen is frozen, so I see a bunch of pink dressed people while I listen to the NBC banter. I guess I'll try and refresh.
eta: refreshed in time for the cool dancing stuff.
In Laura is always under construction news, the guys have torn out the ceilings and walls and all the crap behind them and are putting in new insulation upstairs. Next, outlets (all with USB) and ceiling light fixtures, then pine on the walls and ceilings the same as below. Shhh, don't tell DH but they are putting in pocket doors on the 3 bedrooms too. I am sleeping on the couch downstairs while they do all that. It is nice not to have to go down the stairs to use the bathroom in the middle of the night.

According to things I've seen on various social media sites, the couch sex thing is actually from the first edition of his stupid book, but was removed from subsequent editions. I'm sure that is also an internet rumor, but it cracks me up.

Oh man. I hadn't read that it was in the first edition. I was just thinking someone made it up. Too bad no one has a copy of the first edition to check . From what I saw someone Tweeted about, there was a story, a retraction, etc.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
Wasn't there a British Prime Minister who had a sordid history with a pig's head? I'd say the Vance rumor is almost quaint in comparison.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated
Midlife crumbling body check-in: after vacation (we leave tomorrow morning), I need to schedule a mammogram, colonoscopy, and need to find a dermatologist to make sure my cave fish-white self stays skin cancer-free (in the meantime, I have SPF 1 billion for the beach). I'm posting that for accountability, so I make those appointments.
Despite the best efforts of Awesome Doctor to appeal to our insurance, they refuse to pay for weight-loss drugs (which seems very short-sighted of them, because they have access to my records; they can see my BMI). And my blood sugar is like 70, so he can't get it covered for pre-diabetes. The good news is, I'm fat but otherwise pretty damn healthy. I am, however, still on a mission to lose the Covid weight, so at the beginning of June I started tracking my food, which I haven't done in a long, long, long time. Since then, I've lost 10 pounds (which I honestly can't tell, because that really isn't that much on my frame), which I'm pretty happy with for 2 months. I took my measurements back in April when we bought Indian garb for our niece's Hindu wedding ceremony, and compared to my April measurements, I've lost 2.5 inches off my bust, 3 inches off my waist, and 2 inches off my hips. So I guess I'll keep tracking my food and my insurance can go jump in a lake.
(I am, however, not going to track my food very strictly on vacation. I have seafood to eat!)
